King Leopold Ranges. Source: Universal Images Group Editorial.
A renowned West Australian landmark previously named after an "evil tyrant" who enslaved African people has been renamed to honour its Aboriginal heritage.
The ranges in WA's far north Kimberly region were originally called the King Leopold Ranges, but will now be known as the Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges.
It comes amid a period of global reckoning for historic injustices perpetrated by colonial figures, which has been fuelled by the Black Lives Matter movement.
